Josh Jacobs is cratering, and he's not alone in zmoneyballers' locker room
By Val Marchetti · 1mo ago
Josh Jacobs is a flex-worthy back who's suddenly anything but. His value is cratering, and Zack owns him — a real problem, since Jacobs was supposed to be a piece of the turnaround team that reached the 2025 championship game. It gets worse: Zack's Carson Beck is cratering too, and Cam Ward is sliding. Three different players trending the wrong direction on one roster is not a coincidence, it's a portfolio going sideways — fitting, since Zack has already declared a 2026 rebuild.
The counter-trend belongs to cplabarge. Connor is watching three players surge at once — Mike Washington, Keenan Allen, and Malik Davis — none of them a headline name, but a bench and depth corps rising together is exactly how a quiet contender gets built. Trotter0's Najee Harris is surging too, a rare bright spot for a team that treats bad luck as a personality trait.
Elsewhere, Emmett Johnson is surging for jgianares and Ty Simpson is doing the same for zmoneyballers — small consolation given the Jacobs news. jgianares also watches Mac Jones crater, a name with unhappy history in that building. Cmoney7's Shedeur Sanders is cratering as well. The one starter-level faller that should actually worry someone: Carnell Tate, sliding for PatBerry, the rare non-QB name on this list that matters every week.
